We had a great time at the Columbia Middle School assisting the "STEM" class in a science project. The students went 5 for 5 in dropping eggs from over 70' with not one breaking. Great job students.

Please avoid outdoor fires, Fire Departments all over Monroe and St Clair county have been responding to brush fires. Thank you and stay safe!

The combination of low humidity, gusty southwesterly winds, and dry vegetation will lead to Elevated to Critical Fire Danger today, meaning fires could easily get out of control. Therefore, outdoor burning is strongly discouraged today.
